7 minute rotator cuff solution

This book is aimed at people who have had shoulder related injuries, currently have them, or have never had such an injury but do a lot of sports that involve the shoulders.

The book starts out like a biology lesson, giving you correct terminology of what tendons are and ligaments; how the shoulder is made up, how the muscles work and finally where the rotator cuff is located and what is actually is. With each description there is a simple illustrative diagram to get a clear idea of what they are talking about, also they provide small exercises for you to do to understand the limitations of your shoulder and how it can become damaged.

In my opinion the book covers everything you need to know regarding this area. After going through examples and descriptions of the different types of shoulder injuries you can get, it equally goes through the different types of exercises you should do to a) prevent b) rehabilitate. More importantly a training program has been devised for specific needs,

E.g. Rehab workouts, Strengthen workouts, Stretching workouts, regularity of workouts etc.

The best thing about the book is the illustrations of exercises, not only does it show how to do the exercises, but also shows how not to do them, explaining how it can cause more damage than good. Additionally advice is given on weight training for the shoulder. The down side to the facts of the book is the knowledge of how easily you can mess your shoulder up plus finding out after 40 –50 yrs old your rotator cuff will naturally deteriorate which will cause restriction in movement.

I have added a couple of images for you to get an idea of what to expect.

Recommendation, if you grapple, get kicked, use your arms to block, stop, lift or break fall in sports then this book is invaluable. Physiotherapy cost approx Ł30 for an hour which I think is a rip off when you will be told exactly what this book tells you.

Reading time: for those that will find this type of reading boring, you can skip a lot of stuff out and go straight to the exercise programs which can be done in a few hours.

Incentive? It takes at least 3 months for what is considered a minor shoulder injury to heal, then you have to strengthen the shoulder for it to heal properly; so you are looking at 6 months of injury time.
